Train Performs 'Save Me, San Francisco' on 'Today' (VIDEO)

Train performs 'Save Me, San Francisco' on 'Today'Train named their 2009 album 'Save Me, San Francisco' as a tribute to the city where they first came together. 'Hey, Soul Sister' was the smash single from that release, but the title track is perhaps the one that means a little more to them personally. Singer Pat Monahan spoke about the song Friday morning on 'Today' (weekdays, 7AM on NBC).

"I think starting the band in San Francisco and being around for 16 years, we got to the point where we kind of lost touch with where we started," said Monahan. "So 'Save Me, San Francisco' is our way of saying thank you, can you help us one more time."

The band then performed the song, a typically radio-friendly, mid-tempo rock tune featuring Train's typically inscrutable lyrics -- "I've been reggae and calypso, won't you save me, San Francisco." Get on that, San Francisco. Don't make Train go back to calypso.

Cee Lo Green Talks to Train About Song Inspiration and 'Trained Groupies' (VIDEO)

Train, 'Cee Lo Green: Talking to Strangers'Cee Lo Green ran the gamut in his interview with the band Train on 'Cee Lo Green: Talking to Strangers' (Wed., 11PM ET on Fuse). He talked with Patrick Monahan about the influences behind the song 'Drops of Jupiter,' which was inspired by the death of his mother.

Monahan got a little existential on Green, though, saying it was much more than him dwelling on that experience. After the lyric "I'm back in the atmosphere" came to him in his sleep, Monahan felt it was his mother wanting him to tell this story.

"I feel like I'm just a vehicle for the universe," he explained. "So I really respected what was happening that night."

'Dancing with the Stars' - 'Performance #6: Results' Recap

Karina Smirnoff and Louis Van Amstel dance to Train's 'Drops of Jupiter' on the 'DWTS' week 6 results show(S10E13) Last night's 'Dancing with the Stars' provided several of the celebrities' personal best scores including the first 30 of the season. The group dances forced the scores closer to each other.

The results begin and I'm taken aback to Brooke Burke looking like a poor man's Carmen Electra tonight. We start off immediately with Nicole & Derek and Erin & Maks. While Nicole & Derek are safe, Erin & Maks are in the dreaded bottom two.

Len's recap basically hyped how much he thought the episode went. It was because after Jake's elimination the dead weight is gone. It turns out that Nicole's dress was stuck when she did her low spin and landed on her bum thus causing the giggle moment I complained about last night.

You can really tell that the holiday season is coming by the commercials you see on TV. I'm not just talking about the Norelco sled in the snow or the K-Mart layaway pitches. I'm talking about the high end, classy jewelry and perfume commercials that are there to give guys ideas about what to give their spouses.

One of the most beautiful perfume ads I've seen in a long time has been getting a lot of exposure lately. It's for Chanel N°5 with the French actress Audrey Tautou. You probably have seen it, but might remember it more if I tell you about the music. It's a very soulful, bluesy rendition of "I'm A Fool To Want You."

The Dead Zone: Switch

maggie and johnny(S06E06) I always like the titles for The Dead Zone: They usually have a double entendre happening, and last night's episode is no exception: Switch for train switches on train tracks, and also for the switch Maggie pulls with the diamond necklace. Johnny helps a beautiful woman get her ticket out of the machine, and therefore ensures his interest in her when he touches her and sees her being thrown from the train.

Maggie is a smart chick and she immediately dismisses Johnny's "I'm psychic," schtick with some pretty apt predictions about other passengers on her own. I thought she read Johnny pretty accurately, too. Of course, she is good at reading people because she is a grifter. She is a female version of Sawyer from Lost, only much nicer.

The residents were competing in a program called, A Challenge to the Heart, where Uruguayan communities raise money for local charities by completing difficult tasks.
